A large indoor hall under a white tent canopy with a dense audience of men seated on white plastic chairs, mostly in white clothing, viewed from behind. On a raised stage at the far end, a figure in orange robes sits on an ornate golden throne before a large backdrop portrait of a smiling bearded deity-like face with long hair. The stage is decorated with red and white garlands, yellow and red hanging tassels, and a camera operator stands at the left edge. Ceiling fans and small lights are visible. The orange-robed figure on the throne is an appearance-based a person candidate, with orange ornate clothing and a throne as cues, though the distance makes the appearance uncertain.
